Lily Collins has become a first-time mother after welcoming a child via surrogacy, she announced on Friday.
The Emily In Paris star shared an adorable baby photo to her official Instagram account in a shared post with Charlie McDowell.
Collins wrote on Instagram: Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again.’
Collins tied the knot with McDowell, a filmmaker, in September 2021 in a private ceremony held in Colorado in front of their famous parents.
Lily is the daughter of Genesis frontman and pop-rock icon Phil Collins and his ex-wife Jill Tavelman, while Charlie is the son of actors Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen, who divorced in 1990, and stepson of Mary’s current husband, Ted Danson.
Lily’s photo showed baby Tove lying on her back in a small soft fleece convertible bassinet while wearing a beige onesie and a cute gray knit cap decorated with floral designs.

She had what looked like a white knit blanket laid out next to her with her first name stitched in elegant gold letters.
Someone — possibly her mom — rested a hand gently over her chest for some close contact.
According to TMZ, Lily and Charlie’s surrogate gave birth to Tove earlier this week in Northern California.
Charlie’s mother and stepfather, Mary and Ted, were reportedly seen visiting the baby in the hospital shortly after her birth.
Sources added that Lily and Charlie were full of love and gratitude after welcoming their first child.
The lovebirds managed to keep their surrogacy plans completely under the radar until after Tove was born.
